Please read these pages before you post.

Rules - You should have read this before applying, but if you didn't, READ IT NOW. If you don't follow these rules, you will be expelled.

Maps - This shows what places there are, and where they are. If something's not on this map, it doesn't exist. Don't make places up, okay?

Science and Technology - This contains details of all the technology used at Hero High, like the shielding device, and also has information on the genetic causes of superpowers.

Basic Spelling, Grammar, and Punctuation - Please read this. These are simple rules to make sure your posts are readable.

Other useful pages include
- The news thread
- Absence notes
- Improvements and feedback
- 'About Me' survey
- Your dorm room (which will eventually have your timetable).

Miscellaneous Info

- Students can get into Larkford by a bus; the stop is outside the gates.
- Lots of students go to the school (about 600), not just the RPCs.
- The current weather is displayed on the home page.
- Only some rooms have balconies; 1-11, 38-60, and 93-104. The rest have large electronic displays in the roof which display a view of the sky (like the ceiling of the Great Hall at Hogwarts). The balconies are only really big enough for 2 people to stand on, and the doors open inwards.
- Time in each thread is completely separate, so your RPC can be in several classes at once, and still be talking to someone in the main thread.
- On a similar note, if you're in the main thread and you say you're going somewhere which has a thread in a subforum (eg, the medical room, or your dorm room), keep posting in the main thread. The subforums are optional, the main thread is not.

Under construction.

The School
Like classes, you can post here in different parts of the school.

Larkford
Students can go shopping, go to a restaurant, or watch a film here.

Not the actual Common Room. This is the OOC area where you can post your own links and stuff.

Dormitories
Contains each students profile and other personal information. Not actually for RPing.

Contains blogs from ex-students. Feel free to post your own blog, in character.

Previous School Weeks and Classes
This is where we keep old main threads and other important stuff that's finished now.

Coldice
This is a nearby city, where approved students go to fight crime. If you've been posting regularly and well for a while, you might be put on the list.

The School Office is for Crew Only.

Mashups, Art, Banners, and Comics
Where you can post any artwork, and where guild banners/links and the comics go.

School Rules

These are completely different to the guild rules. Parker's is a school, so, like any other school, it has rules that students should follow. These are basic things, like no drinking in dorms, don't be late for class, don't intentionally damage school property, etc. If you're not sure if something's allowed, think whether or not you'd be allowed to do it at a normal school.
Curfew's roughly 11pm-5am. There are some other rules regarding use of powers, though.

- Don't use your powers against anyone else, unless you have their permission. If you can't control it, tell people you can't and give them the option to send you out of range. This includes telepaths and empaths.

- Don't use your powers to cause damage to other people's property, including school property. Accidental property damage will be unpunished, although you will have to fix it.

- Don't use your powers for evil! Or to break the law.
